CoinWorld News reports that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio emphasized at a White House press conference that actions providing military support for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz near Iran are a “defensive action,” and the U.S. will only fire if it is attacked. He said: “We cannot let the Iranian regime decide who uses this vital waterway.” After Trump announced the “Freedom Plan,” violent clashes broke out in the region on Monday. Trump described the plan as a humanitarian effort aimed at guiding neutral ships trapped in the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. At least two merchant ships passed through the waterway with U.S. assistance in resisting attacks, while two U.S. warships entered the Gulf.
